Dinosaur

Posted on by Reena Saxena

ferocious, by all means
ready to devour light-heartedness
with its forked tongue
oscillating between ages
It is but a memoir
of a buried culture

It pops out of pages of history
crosses geographies of the mind
destroys civic sense
in an alien language
causes incalculable damage
with a different math
undefined in scientific methods
not punishable by extant laws

only to reclaim a part
of belongings
long since abandoned
metamorphosed into shapes
it cannot give a name

yet, it clings to weapons
which damage the present
to justify its existence
How can it accept a death?
unless killed
once again…
